The sun is moving through the galaxy at about a half a million miles per hour. Earth orbits the sun at about an eighth of that speed and the Milkyway Galaxy is moving at about a million miles per hour. Earths rotational speed is comparatively irrelevant. (about 1000 miles per hour)
So earth is moving between .5 and 1.5 million miles per hour or .2% to .5% of the speed of light

How fast is Uranus moving in space?
Uranus moves through space at an average speed of about 6.8 kilometers per second. Its speed varies slightly depending on its position in its orbit around the Sun.
How fast does the space station fly?
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
What are fast-moving gasses that can travel in space?
plasma
What does a international space station look like from earth?
The International Space Station (ISS) appears as a bright, fast-moving dot in the sky when viewed from Earth. It resembles a fast-moving airplane but does not have blinking lights. The ISS orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes, so it can often be seen during evening or early morning hours.
Does the space station have a blinking light that would be visable from earth?
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) does have external lights that can be seen from Earth. However, these lights do not blink. The ISS appears as a fast-moving and steady bright light when it passes overhead during the night.
How can they tell how fast the earth is moving through space?
Scientists can determine Earth's speed through space by measuring its orbital velocity around the Sun, which is about 30 km/s (18.6 mi/s). Additionally, Earth's rotational speed at the equator is about 1670 km/h (1037 mph), contributing to its overall speed through space. These speeds are crucial for understanding Earth's dynamic motion within the solar system.

How fast is ameteoriodwhen it enters the earths atmosphere?
Depends whether it is moving in the same direction as the earth, or against it. About 20 km/sec is the average. The fast ones move through space at perhaps 40 km/sec, and the slow ones perhaps half that. The Earth is moving about 18km/sec, so that either adds or subtracts from the meteoroid speed, depending whether it moves with or against Earth's velocity. About 15 000 tons of natural space debris falls on Earth each year.
What is a fast moving stream of particles released into space from the surface of sun?
A fast-moving stream of particles released into space from the surface of the sun is called solar wind. These charged particles can interact with planetary magnetic fields and atmospheres, affecting space weather and communication systems on Earth.

Why is not possible to go to space and land back on earth on a different place utilising the earth's rotation for travelling east to west on earth?
There is nothing to hold fast to. For this type of practical purposes, you can consider the Earth as not moving at all.
How can you stay on earth when moving so fast?
Gravity.
What does ultraviolet have to do with the sun and earth from moving slow?
nothing, as far as I know. The earth isn't moving slow, it's moving extremely fast.
Why do space ships become hot when reaching earth's atmasphere?
For a space ship to orbit the Earth it needs to be moving so fast sideways that as it falls towards the Earth the curvature of the Earth falls away below it. The higher the orbit the greater the sideways speed needs to be. Thus when the space ship wants to come back to the earth it is moving very very fast and when it hits the air in the atmosphere the fridtion with the air cause the spaceship to heat up. The process of heating up slows the ships speed - the energy of the speed is turned into heat.
How fast is the wind moving on earth?
It changes every day
